## 📝 Rules of Engagement
|
|
|
|
### **The Non-Negotiables:**
|
|
1. **Never skip the 2-month compound period** (Phases 1-2)
|
|
2. **Always lower risk when account grows** (follow phase guidelines)
|
|
3. **Stop trading after 3 consecutive losses** (review system, don't revenge trade)
|
|
4. **Only trade signals with 70+ quality score** (especially in Phase 1-2)
|
|
5. **Never increase leverage above phase max** (greed kills accounts)
|
|
|
|
### **The Promises:**
|
|
1. **Patience in Phase 1-2** (no withdrawals, let it compound)
|
|
2. **Discipline in Phase 3-5** (consistent withdrawals, no FOMO)
|
|
3. **Humility in Phase 6+** (protect capital, it's real money now)
|
|
|
|
### **The Vision:**
|
|
This isn't just about $100K. This is about building a systematic income machine that:
|
|
- Pays for life expenses (Phase 3+)
|
|
- Builds wealth (Phase 5+)
|
|
- Creates legacy (Phase 8+)
|
|
- **Proves algorithmic trading works when done right**

|

|
|
## 🚨 Failure Modes & Contingencies
|
|
|
|
### **If Account Drops 50%+ in Phase 1-2:**
|
|
- STOP trading immediately
|
|
- Review all losing trades (what went wrong?)
|
|
- Analyze signal quality scores (were they actually 70+?)
|
|
- Check v6 configuration (filters working?)
|
|
- Consider waiting for $1K deposit before resuming
|
|
|
|
### **If Win Rate <50% After 20 Trades:**
|
|
- System may not be working as expected
|
|
- Review blocked signals vs executed signals
|
|
- Increase MIN_SIGNAL_QUALITY_SCORE to 75
|
|
- Reduce position size by 50%
|
|
|
|
### **If Can't Make Withdrawals in Phase 3:**
|
|
- Lower withdrawal amount to $200/month
|
|
- Extend Phase 2 by 1-2 months
|
|
- Consider side income to reduce pressure
|
|
- Don't break the system by over-withdrawing
